This fascinating little Australian entry barely made it into Stateside theaters. It's sharp and delightfully puzzling.

The truth is hard to deduce, especially the person you're interviewing! As a man is arrested for a stolen car, the police believe that the man is a secret serial killer, but internal affairs and the mans protestations of innocence make it hard to tell if he's lying. A psychological crime thriller with Hugo Weaving playing a man who has many dark secrets, but is not about to reveal them so easily!

A small, but excellent crime drama. Sharp and coherent plot, driven by smart dialog, efficient acting performance.

Not so sure why this is so highly rated. The rating influenced my decision to watch this. It passed the time, but I wasn't anywhere close to being impressed.
